My personal oppinon is that they left tooooo much out, and it being cut down to only 150 minutes made my perseption of Alfanso Curon a very bad director for this movie. I feel the movie was not at all loyal to the readers and most fans. Overal the movie was ok.

How can Harry Potter rule when the movie sucked? The people that say this movie is amazing don't know what they're talking about, or they're not to bright to begin with. Have you ever read the books? If you have, how can you say this movie is amazing? It boggles the mind. If you people didn't read the books, the movie might be perceived as okay. But the book is the movie. Without the books, you don't have the movie. Yeah sure, the special effects are okay and the movie is visibly okay, but that is all. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

You don't have to be a "true fan" of a book to like a movie. It was a really good movie.

I have read the book about a million times and i have to say that the movie had many mistakes in it and i am dissapointed! They went from scene to scene without really getting into them properly, which got confusing at times.
